certified plastic surgeon, host of the show. Coming up no
one more month and we hit our twenty year anniversary. Yeah,
and I understand that wr is throwing this incredible galli
(02:40):
for me right now. Yeah sure, Okay, Well, anyway, today
we've got a great show planned for you. We're gonna
talk a little bit more about laser peals. We talked
last week about laser peels, and I'm gonna add some
more information. We're gonna talk about light peels and heavier peals,
and then we're gonna talk about, well, what's in the
(03:02):
news this week. How about Brad Cooper, you know he's
had some cosmetic surgery maybe, And how about Brad Pitt,
Maybe he's had some cosmetic surgery. So, you know, men,
you know, when celebrities like that have cosmetic surgery, it
really stimulates other men to follow suits. So we're going
to talk about male cosmetic surgery today on WR eight
(03:25):
hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's the phone
number if you want to give us a call and
become part of the show. So those of you listening
for the very first time, well, yeah, I'm a real
plastic surgeon. During the week in my offices in Manhattan
and in New Jersey, I lift faces and lift eyelids
and make noses smaller and breast bigger. And yeah, I
(03:49):
do all sorts of filler procedures and boatox procedures and
laser procedures. That's what I do. And I love doing it,
and I've been doing it for a long time and
and it's such a great feel plastic surgery, it really is.
It's a very gratifying My patients are, for the most part,
extremely happy. It's really if you think about it, it's
(04:10):
the only part of medicine where you don't have a
medical problem when you come in to see me. You
know everybody else. If you go to the endochronologists, you
might have diabetes. If you go to a thoracic surgeon,
haven't you've got something in your lungs. You go to
a nephrologist, you've got hypertension or kidney problems. But you
go to a plastic surgeon, you're fine. You just want
(04:31):
to look better, and that's what I do. You know,
we help you look better, feel better. And my attitude
about cosmetic surgery, I'm a little bit more conservative than
a lot of plastic surgeons in that I don't want
to overdo things, and I don't think you want it either.
If you really think about it, you don't want to
look like you've had surgery. Some people do. It's kind
(04:53):
of funny, but I don't want you to look like
you've had surgery. I want you to look natural. I
want you to look normal, and and I have no
issues turning you down for surgery or even a procedure
if I don't think it's going to help you. I
saw a twenty twenty eight year old woman this week
who wanted filler on her cheekbones. And I looked at
(05:16):
her cheekbones and they were already pretty big, and I said, no, no,
we're not going to do that. If I put any
more filler on your cheekbones, you're going to look like Schwarzenegger.
And she smiled at me and said, okay, well I
came in for that. Well, you know, I want to
do what's right. I want to certainly make you look
(05:36):
as good as possible and not freaky. That's a technical term.
All right, we've got Sondra on the line. Sondra, what
can I do for you? What's your wrinkle?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Tonight?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Good evening, Doctor Perry. You know, I'm reading that young, young,
young people are playing around with fillers and bowtops. Now
I know you said bowtops. That's understandable, and I agree
because it's preventative. But when I think about young kids
putting skills, I think by the time they get older,
their faces are going to be not the same anymore.
(06:07):
What you think of that, well.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You do have to be very careful. And yes, when
we're talking about teenagers with filler, the only time I
really do fillers on teenagers is to increase the size
of their lips, because if let's say, an eighteen year
old woman has pretty small lips, it's very reasonable to
put rest lane or something like that in the lips.
(06:31):
On the other hand, some people, some women usually come
to me at a very young age, in their early
twenties and say, I don't like my nasal abiel folds.
You know, I really want a lot of filler in
them and get rid of them. And I say, wait
a minute here, if I fill your folds, you will
not look human because if you look at a fourteen
(06:51):
year old, they've got nasal abiel folds. But what fourteen
year olds do not have are those marionette lines. So
but then again, a twenty two year old doesn't have
those either. Marionette lines come in when you're in your
late thirties, at the earliest, and forties and fifties and
certainly sixties seventies. I did a filler on an eighty
four year old woman who's still working this week, and yeah,
(07:14):
she just looked spectacular after doing the filler. But that's
kind of the opposite of what you're talking about, Sondra.
You're talking about those teenagers so or even in the twenties.
So I have no issues turning people down. I'm gonna
do what I think is right. And again for those
very young filler patients, it's mostly lip augmentation. Sometimes, you know,
(07:36):
I've used a filler in a very creative way. I've
had women come in with an asymmetric ear lobe, so
almost a congenital abnormality where ear lobe one ear lobe
is significantly smaller than the other one, and I will
use filler to actually grow the earlobe. It's really pretty cool.
It'll It'll happen over the course of about a year
(07:58):
or so, and every month so someone will come in.
They'll come in and I'll put some more filler in
the ear lobe and it gradually stretches out the skin
and causes you to make your own collagen in the
ear lobe. And even if I place it in the
right area, I can make fat in the ear lobe.
And you say, why do I want fat ear lobes, Well,
you certainly just want them to match. And it's interesting
(08:21):
I've actually done that even in children using filler, because
the surgical techniques to reconstruct ear lobes. I'm not talking
about the full ear, I'm not talking about congenital absence
of the year. I'm just talking about a small ear
lobe which sometimes happens and sometimes is asymmetric, and it's
one of the interesting uses of filler. All right, So
(08:43):
we've kind of deviated a bit from your question.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Are you still there, Sondra, No, I think you kind
of answered it only under very necessary conditions. Would you
do killer on a young person lips or deformity in
the ears or something that's bothering person, But just to
encourage young kids to start doing all this stuff again,
I feel by the time they've become more mature, they're
(09:07):
just not gonna look the same. It's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's one of the problems, Sondra, of the Internet and
Instagram and YouTube when influencers and hope, I hate that word, right,
but these influencers, these twenty somethings, get a procedure, then
they encourage others to call in. And it's happened so
(09:30):
many times over the last few years. You know, we
went through the buckle fat pad craze because the Kardashian
had buckle fat pads and that's the mid cheek fat pads.
And so in a six month period, I think I
did half a dozen, and I hadn't done half a
dozen for the ten years before that, you know, and
then now it's out of out of common use once again,
(09:55):
and you know, until the next celebrity has something like that.
But we're gonna talk about celebrity celebrities having cosmetic surgery
in just a minute, so stay tuned. Sondra, thank you
so much for your call. And yeah, you know, we'll
hope to make you look twenty five with filler one day.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
All right, thanks so much. I'm board sort of plastic surgeon,
doctor Arthur Perry. We're gonna take a short breakdown. We'll
be back with male cosmetic surgery after these words. Did
you know that your skincare may be hurting you more
than helping you. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry.
(10:38):
The foundation for looking good is clean, healthy skin. So
I've created a program that is so simple that everyone
can stay on it long enough to see real results.
It starts with an incredible skin cleaner called clean Time.
It's actually good for your skin. Protect your skin with
my Daytime SPF twenty cream in the evening, feed your
(10:59):
skin with my power house Nighttime Serum. Nighttime has vitamin CNA,
antioxidants and skin brighteners. And if you like moisturizers, well
I've created soft Time with seramides and vitamin D. Throw
away the bags of useless products and try doctor Perry's Skincare.
Join the thousands of people whose skin is healthier. That's
doctor Perry's Skincare on Amazon dot com. And don't forget
(11:22):
to listen to my radio show right here on Wor
every Saturday evening at six pm. You're listening to What's
Your Wrinkle with Doctor Arthur Perry. What's your wrinkle? What
is your wrinkle? Well, what you know, everybody's got them
right when you hit even. I did a laser on
a thirty I think she was about thirty five years old.
(11:45):
I think it was her birthday present this week. And
she had some fine wrinkles around her eyes and maybe
a few wrinkles of her mid cheek. So she's a
little ahead of schedule with wrinkles. And I did a
layer laser on her because she's also got some splotchy
pigmentation of her forehead. Now, the laser I did on
(12:07):
her was very, very different from the laser I did
on Who was that guest last week, Noah oh Susan
who talked about her laser, which was a very aggressive laser.
So you know the CO two fractionated laser, you know,
one of the names is the fraxle laser. You know,
there's so many different lasers out there now. So you know,
when you go to your plastic surgeon or your dermatologist,
(12:30):
you know you really shouldn't ask for it. Well do
you use that laser? Because they're tools. They're tools. They're
like you know, I use scalpels, I use scissors, I
use different surgical instruments. They're tools to get a result.
And different plastic surgeons use different tools to get similar results.
So there's so many different lasers there's I won't even
bore you with all the names of them out there.
(12:52):
But I like the carbon dioxide laser. I also own
an erbium laser, and I rarely use it because I
think the car dioxide laser gives a more predictable result.
And I can adjust the laser based on the density,
how many pulses per square inch, and also the energy
(13:12):
So the laser is sort of like you know, you
have a light bulb. You know, the old young people
don't know this because led light bulbs don't have wantages, right,
But those of you who are listening to me probably
know that there are twenty five watt light bulbs or
fifty water hunter watts or even higher. Right. And we
can adjust the laser just like a light bulb. We
can we can use high wattage or a low wantage
(13:35):
and it goes with a different name with the laser,
but it basically the higher I go, the more intense
the result. So if someone is twenty five thirty years
old and they just want to refreshed look, maybe almost
exfoliation with the laser, I can do that and you
hardly even feel the laser. When someone who is in
(13:56):
her sixties comes in and has significant brown spot pigmentation
of the face and wrinkles, well then I might have
to go a fairly deep laser setting if we're going
to get a result. You know a lot of people say, well,
you know, I don't want any downtime. Well, the truth
of the laser is the deeper I go, the more
profound the result. But the deeper I go, the more
(14:19):
downtime there is, and you have to really face that
and realize that if you're going to get a result
and going to look better for a long time, and
the laser has a very very long effect, in fact, decades,
the benefits are decades. Very few things in plastic surgery
can we see can we say last decades, But the
(14:40):
laser has a benefit for decades. Not those really superficial lasers.
So not the one I did on the thirty five
year old. Now that's only going to last a year
or two the effect. But if we if we do
a profound laser one, then I have to numb you up,
usually maybe give you a little bit of valium, maybe
a Gernavis. That's the new thing, by the way, the
(15:02):
new painkiller that's non narcotic, as effective as percocet. Gernavis.
This sounds like a commercial for them, but I've been
using it with my patients and it's really very nice
because you can drive taking it and it doesn't get
you nauseated. So that's the new painkiller, and it's a
good thing to use at the time of the laser
(15:22):
because the laser, if I go deep is you know,
it's uncomfortable. We use emlocream MLA cream is an anesthetic
cream that will numb up your skin, and then I
do blocks like I do for filler. That means I
go inside your mouth. There are four nerves inside the mouth,
and I numb you up the upper lip, the lower lip,
the whole area inside the nasal abial folds in the
(15:43):
mouth gets numb, and then I numb your farhead up.
Also there are nerves of the forehead, and we'll get
you pretty numb so that hopefully the laser is not uncomfortable. Now,
sometimes people don't want to be numb. The downside of
numbing you up is that there's more bruising and it
takes long, there's more swelling, it takes a little bit
longer to recover, and a lot of people just don't
like needles. So if we give you a little bit
(16:05):
of a valium, give you a little bit of that
Gynavis painkiller, and then use the amlocreme, we can usually
get through and get a nice result even with an
aggressive laser. So the laser procedures are very popular right now.
In fact, I did several this past week. I did
an eighty four year old with a laser. Well, you know,
(16:26):
I've got this population of patients that range from pretty
much sixteen from the rhinoplasts all the way up to
the mid eighties. And you might ask me, well, doctor
Perry's it's safe to do a laser on an eighty
something year old And the question is it's not the age. Actually,
the answer is, it's not the age, it's how healthy
(16:47):
you are. So if you don't have medical problems, if
you don't have problems with your heart, lungs, are kidneys,
if you're not on insulin and lots of medications for
blood pressure, and you know, if you're healthy, if you exercise,
if you're let's say you're working, and you have a
relatively healthy life, well, then even in your eighties, you
(17:08):
can have cosmetic surgery. Yes, if you have a bigger procedure,
like a facelift, We're gonna ask you to have a
stress test before the procedure because surgery itself, like a facelift,
is a fairly uncontrolled stress test, know, so we want
you to have a controlled one with your cardiologists before him.
All right, Well, I promise we're going to talk about
(17:29):
the male cosmetic surgery. So when we come back from
the break, we are going to talk about how about
Brad Cooper. Have you looked all right in the break?
I want you to listen to the commercial, but just
check out his pictures on the internet for a second. Noah,
we'll take our break now, we'll be back after these words.
(17:54):
They say that sixty is the new fifty. But while
you may feel and act fifty, the mirror doesn't lie.
But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm board certified
plastic surgeon, Doctor Arthur Perry, and I love helping patients
look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
(18:16):
and yes, younger. With my short scar facelift and the
artistic injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well,
that might be just what it takes to get you
looking as good as you feel. Let's sit down for
an hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together,
we'll come up with a plan to help you look
your best. Give me a call at eight three three Perry, MD.
(18:36):
That's A three three p E R R Y M D.
Check me out on the web at Perryplasticsurgery dot com
and don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on wo R.
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And we are back. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor
Arthur Perry host What's Your Wrinkle for a long long
time now. I do cosmetic surgery exclusively in my practice.
I'll take off some moles and things like that also
and help with some skin cancers, but what I really
do is face lifts and eyelid lifts and rhinoplasts. I
(19:16):
love facial rejuvenation and I spend a lot of time
also doing the non invasive procedures like fillers and botox
and lasers and things like that. So women absolutely dwarf
men in terms of who has cosmetic surgery, well over
ninety percent of cosmetic surgery is in women. In my
practice is mostly women, but I do do surgery on
(19:38):
men also, and it's just that there's less demand for
cosmetic surgery in men, and part of that is because
men don't care as much. They really don't. And in fact,
if you look at some male actors that get older,
you know, you had Robert Redford who just passed away
(20:00):
a lot of wrinkles on his face and still had
roles in movies and was quite a celebrity, right. But
you don't see women in their seventies and eighties on
TV for the most part, with lots of wrinkles. The
women that are on those shows have had cosmetic surgery,
and there are very few roles unfortunately for the older
(20:21):
people men and women in Hollywood. But if we look
at men who have had cosmetic surgery, well, let's in fact,
let's look at the picture of Bradley Cooper now. And
you say, well, okay, it's all over the internet and
a lot of you have probably seen that.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I don't know if brad Cooper, I don't know him personally.
I don't know if he's had cosmetic surgery. But when
I look at his pictures and I compare last year's
pictures to this year's pictures, I'll tell you it looks
like he's had an upper blephroplasty. And what's an upper bleferroplasty,
a big plastic surgery word for an eyelid lift. Now,
as we age, we and to maybe lower our brows
(21:02):
just a little bit, and we also tend to get
extra skin on our eyelids, both our upper eyelids and
our lower eyelids. But our upper eyelids can get so
much extra skin that it causes what we say is hooding,
and it can actually interfere with your vision. It's almost
like wearing a baseball hat and you're driving with a
baseball hat on. You have to tilt your head up
(21:23):
because the baseball hat gets in your way, particularly if
you're going up a hill. The same thing happens with
that skin. It can actually interfere with your vision. But
way before it interferes with your vision, it just looks
like you've got extra skin on your upper eyelids. You
also tend to get fat up your upper eyelids. Fat
(21:44):
is there your entire life. It doesn't change in its
volume from when you were twelve years old to eighty
years old. But what happens is because your tissues weaken,
the fat tends to sort of herniate outward and you
begin to see a little balls by the nose and
a little bit of fullness in the middle of the
upper island the lower eyelid. Well, just look at see
(22:06):
these candidates for mayor, like mister Cuomo. You know he's
got three really nice fat pads of his lower eyelids
and he's had him, his father had him. Mario was
a poster child for cosmetic surgery.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
So I.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Did not operate on Mario, didn't operate on Andrew. But
they both have similar lower eyelids. And when people have
their eyelids operated on, we remove a little bit of
extra skin for the lower lid also, and a judicious amount.
How's that for a word? Judicious amount? Just the right
amount of fat from the lower eyelids as well as
(22:46):
the upper eyelids. Now here's what happens in a woman.
A woman's esthetic ideal is to remove all that extra
skin of the upper eyelids so that she can put
makeup on it not have its smear. Well, a man,
it's different because men don't wear makeup. And if I
(23:08):
remove that much skin from a man's eyelid, it will
feminize his eyelids. And if you look at Bradley Cooper,
it looks like he had a very nice blepho classy
if he were a woman. Yeah, there's a siren in
the background. You know, I'm broadcasting live from the Upper
West Side of Manhattan, and I'll tell you that it's
this district. There's those of you who live up here.
(23:30):
I don't think there's ten minutes that go by that
you don't hear sirens. But yeah, that's New York and
happy to be living here now, right across from Lincoln
Center all the way. All right, So back to Bradley Cooper. Noah,
We'll look at his eyelids and you know, he had
a nice eyelid lift, but it was too It looks
like he had too much skin removed, and his upper
(23:52):
eyelids are feminized. And you know, maybe he wanted that,
maybe he didn't want that. But when I do an
eyelid lift on a man, I purposely leave some skin
to on the upper eyelids so that male eyelids look
different and more masculine than female eyelids. And it's something
that you know, it's an artistic thing. It's very easy
(24:15):
to take more skin, very easy. It's harder, actually to
leave a little and have it look good and have
an improvement from with your appearance, but not be overdone.
And I think his eyelids, at the risk of saying that,
I think he did have a black poroplasty, were overdone. Now,
the other thing about his face is it looks thinner,
(24:35):
and it looks like I mentioned the buckle fat pad
a few minutes ago, it looks like he might have
had his buckle fat pad removed. Now that's not a
smart thing for probably any man, because what happens is
the buckle fat pad. That's the mid cheek fat. That's
the fat if you suck in your cheeks, you know,
like that face you make for children, you suck in
(24:57):
your cheeks, that's the fat that you're sucking and that's
the buck fat pad. And I do remove it in
some people when it's really really chubby. But it looks
like his was removed and he did not have a
real chubby face. And now what's going to happen as
he ages, His face is going to thin significantly. Also,
he might have had his massive or muscle botox. Maybe
(25:19):
I don't know, but all together he looks different. And
you know, you might say he looks better, but I
think he looks overdone. When I do cosmetic surgery. Men,
I'm very very careful about that. All right, the show
is only half an hour. I could talk about this topic.
I didn't even get to Brad Pitt's surgery. Maybe next week, Noah,

You're smart, as I really really gifted position. I want

Now's the time from moisturizer. It really is. You know,
I'm not the biggest fan of moisturizer, but this is

(02:17):

and we talk about small breasts and droopy breasts and
large breasts. And that's what we do. I'm a board
certified plastic surgeon, host of the show. Coming up no
one more month and we hit our twenty year anniversary. Yeah,
and I understand that wr is throwing this incredible galli
(02:40):
for me right now. Yeah sure, Okay, Well, anyway, today
we've got a great show planned for you. We're gonna
talk a little bit more about laser peals. We talked
last week about laser peels, and I'm gonna add some
more information. We're gonna talk about light peels and heavier peals,
and then we're gonna talk about, well, what's in the
(03:02):
news this week. How about Brad Cooper, you know he's
had some cosmetic surgery maybe, And how about Brad Pitt,
Maybe he's had some cosmetic surgery. So, you know, men,
you know, when celebrities like that have cosmetic surgery, it
really stimulates other men to follow suits. So we're going
to talk about male cosmetic surgery today on WR eight
(03:25):
hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's the phone
number if you want to give us a call and
become part of the show. So those of you listening
for the very first time, well, yeah, I'm a real
plastic surgeon. During the week in my offices in Manhattan
and in New Jersey, I lift faces and lift eyelids
and make noses smaller and breast bigger. And yeah, I
(03:49):
do all sorts of filler procedures and boatox procedures and
laser procedures. That's what I do. And I love doing it,
and I've been doing it for a long time and
and it's such a great feel plastic surgery, it really is.
It's a very gratifying My patients are, for the most part,
extremely happy. It's really if you think about it, it's
(04:10):
the only part of medicine where you don't have a
medical problem when you come in to see me. You
know everybody else. If you go to the endochronologists, you
might have diabetes. If you go to a thoracic surgeon,
haven't you've got something in your lungs. You go to
a nephrologist, you've got hypertension or kidney problems. But you
go to a plastic surgeon, you're fine. You just want
(04:31):
to look better, and that's what I do. You know,
we help you look better, feel better. And my attitude
about cosmetic surgery, I'm a little bit more conservative than
a lot of plastic surgeons in that I don't want
to overdo things, and I don't think you want it either.
If you really think about it, you don't want to
look like you've had surgery. Some people do. It's kind
(04:53):
of funny, but I don't want you to look like
you've had surgery. I want you to look natural. I
want you to look normal, and and I have no
issues turning you down for surgery or even a procedure
if I don't think it's going to help you. I
saw a twenty twenty eight year old woman this week
who wanted filler on her cheekbones. And I looked at
(05:16):
her cheekbones and they were already pretty big, and I said, no, no,
we're not going to do that. If I put any
more filler on your cheekbones, you're going to look like Schwarzenegger.
And she smiled at me and said, okay, well I
came in for that. Well, you know, I want to
do what's right. I want to certainly make you look
(05:36):
as good as possible and not freaky. That's a technical term.
All right, we've got Sondra on the line. Sondra, what
can I do for you? What's your wrinkle?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Tonight?
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Good evening, Doctor Perry. You know, I'm reading that young, young,
young people are playing around with fillers and bowtops. Now
I know you said bowtops. That's understandable, and I agree
because it's preventative. But when I think about young kids
putting skills, I think by the time they get older,
their faces are going to be not the same anymore.
(06:07):
What you think of that, well.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
You do have to be very careful. And yes, when
we're talking about teenagers with filler, the only time I
really do fillers on teenagers is to increase the size
of their lips, because if let's say, an eighteen year
old woman has pretty small lips, it's very reasonable to
put rest lane or something like that in the lips.
(06:31):
On the other hand, some people, some women usually come
to me at a very young age, in their early
twenties and say, I don't like my nasal abiel folds.
You know, I really want a lot of filler in
them and get rid of them. And I say, wait
a minute here, if I fill your folds, you will
not look human because if you look at a fourteen
(06:51):
year old, they've got nasal abiel folds. But what fourteen
year olds do not have are those marionette lines. So
but then again, a twenty two year old doesn't have
those either. Marionette lines come in when you're in your
late thirties, at the earliest, and forties and fifties and
certainly sixties seventies. I did a filler on an eighty
four year old woman who's still working this week, and yeah,
(07:14):
she just looked spectacular after doing the filler. But that's
kind of the opposite of what you're talking about, Sondra.
You're talking about those teenagers so or even in the twenties.
So I have no issues turning people down. I'm gonna
do what I think is right. And again for those
very young filler patients, it's mostly lip augmentation. Sometimes, you know,
(07:36):
I've used a filler in a very creative way. I've
had women come in with an asymmetric ear lobe, so
almost a congenital abnormality where ear lobe one ear lobe
is significantly smaller than the other one, and I will
use filler to actually grow the earlobe. It's really pretty cool.
It'll It'll happen over the course of about a year
(07:58):
or so, and every month so someone will come in.
They'll come in and I'll put some more filler in
the ear lobe and it gradually stretches out the skin
and causes you to make your own collagen in the
ear lobe. And even if I place it in the
right area, I can make fat in the ear lobe.
And you say, why do I want fat ear lobes, Well,
you certainly just want them to match. And it's interesting
(08:21):
I've actually done that even in children using filler, because
the surgical techniques to reconstruct ear lobes. I'm not talking
about the full ear, I'm not talking about congenital absence
of the year. I'm just talking about a small ear
lobe which sometimes happens and sometimes is asymmetric, and it's
one of the interesting uses of filler. All right, So
(08:43):
we've kind of deviated a bit from your question.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Are you still there, Sondra, No, I think you kind
of answered it only under very necessary conditions. Would you
do killer on a young person lips or deformity in
the ears or something that's bothering person, But just to
encourage young kids to start doing all this stuff again,
I feel by the time they've become more mature, they're
(09:07):
just not gonna look the same. It's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
It's one of the problems, Sondra, of the Internet and
Instagram and YouTube when influencers and hope, I hate that word, right,
but these influencers, these twenty somethings, get a procedure, then
they encourage others to call in. And it's happened so
(09:30):
many times over the last few years. You know, we
went through the buckle fat pad craze because the Kardashian
had buckle fat pads and that's the mid cheek fat pads.
And so in a six month period, I think I
did half a dozen, and I hadn't done half a
dozen for the ten years before that, you know, and
then now it's out of out of common use once again,
(09:55):
and you know, until the next celebrity has something like that.
But we're gonna talk about celebrity celebrities having cosmetic surgery
in just a minute, so stay tuned. Sondra, thank you
so much for your call. And yeah, you know, we'll
hope to make you look twenty five with filler one day.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
All right, thanks so much. I'm board sort of plastic surgeon,
doctor Arthur Perry. We're gonna take a short breakdown. We'll
be back with male cosmetic surgery after these words. Did
you know that your skincare may be hurting you more
than helping you. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor Arthur Perry.
(10:38):
The foundation for looking good is clean, healthy skin. So
I've created a program that is so simple that everyone
can stay on it long enough to see real results.
It starts with an incredible skin cleaner called clean Time.
It's actually good for your skin. Protect your skin with
my Daytime SPF twenty cream in the evening, feed your
(10:59):
skin with my power house Nighttime Serum. Nighttime has vitamin CNA,
antioxidants and skin brighteners. And if you like moisturizers, well
I've created soft Time with seramides and vitamin D. Throw
away the bags of useless products and try doctor Perry's Skincare.
Join the thousands of people whose skin is healthier. That's
doctor Perry's Skincare on Amazon dot com. And don't forget
(11:22):
to listen to my radio show right here on Wor
every Saturday evening at six pm. You're listening to What's
Your Wrinkle with Doctor Arthur Perry. What's your wrinkle? What
is your wrinkle? Well, what you know, everybody's got them
right when you hit even. I did a laser on
a thirty I think she was about thirty five years old.
(11:45):
I think it was her birthday present this week. And
she had some fine wrinkles around her eyes and maybe
a few wrinkles of her mid cheek. So she's a
little ahead of schedule with wrinkles. And I did a
layer laser on her because she's also got some splotchy
pigmentation of her forehead. Now, the laser I did on
(12:07):
her was very, very different from the laser I did
on Who was that guest last week, Noah oh Susan
who talked about her laser, which was a very aggressive laser.
So you know the CO two fractionated laser, you know,
one of the names is the fraxle laser. You know,
there's so many different lasers out there now. So you know,
when you go to your plastic surgeon or your dermatologist,
(12:30):
you know you really shouldn't ask for it. Well do
you use that laser? Because they're tools. They're tools. They're
like you know, I use scalpels, I use scissors, I
use different surgical instruments. They're tools to get a result.
And different plastic surgeons use different tools to get similar results.
So there's so many different lasers there's I won't even
bore you with all the names of them out there.
(12:52):
But I like the carbon dioxide laser. I also own
an erbium laser, and I rarely use it because I
think the car dioxide laser gives a more predictable result.
And I can adjust the laser based on the density,
how many pulses per square inch, and also the energy
(13:12):
So the laser is sort of like you know, you
have a light bulb. You know, the old young people
don't know this because led light bulbs don't have wantages, right,
But those of you who are listening to me probably
know that there are twenty five watt light bulbs or
fifty water hunter watts or even higher. Right. And we
can adjust the laser just like a light bulb. We
can we can use high wattage or a low wantage
(13:35):
and it goes with a different name with the laser,
but it basically the higher I go, the more intense
the result. So if someone is twenty five thirty years
old and they just want to refreshed look, maybe almost
exfoliation with the laser, I can do that and you
hardly even feel the laser. When someone who is in
(13:56):
her sixties comes in and has significant brown spot pigmentation
of the face and wrinkles, well then I might have
to go a fairly deep laser setting if we're going
to get a result. You know a lot of people say, well,
you know, I don't want any downtime. Well, the truth
of the laser is the deeper I go, the more
profound the result. But the deeper I go, the more
(14:19):
downtime there is, and you have to really face that
and realize that if you're going to get a result
and going to look better for a long time, and
the laser has a very very long effect, in fact, decades,
the benefits are decades. Very few things in plastic surgery
can we see can we say last decades, But the
(14:40):
laser has a benefit for decades. Not those really superficial lasers.
So not the one I did on the thirty five
year old. Now that's only going to last a year
or two the effect. But if we if we do
a profound laser one, then I have to numb you up,
usually maybe give you a little bit of valium, maybe
a Gernavis. That's the new thing, by the way, the
(15:02):
new painkiller that's non narcotic, as effective as percocet. Gernavis.
This sounds like a commercial for them, but I've been
using it with my patients and it's really very nice
because you can drive taking it and it doesn't get
you nauseated. So that's the new painkiller, and it's a
good thing to use at the time of the laser
(15:22):
because the laser, if I go deep is you know,
it's uncomfortable. We use emlocream MLA cream is an anesthetic
cream that will numb up your skin, and then I
do blocks like I do for filler. That means I
go inside your mouth. There are four nerves inside the mouth,
and I numb you up the upper lip, the lower lip,
the whole area inside the nasal abial folds in the
(15:43):
mouth gets numb, and then I numb your farhead up.
Also there are nerves of the forehead, and we'll get
you pretty numb so that hopefully the laser is not uncomfortable. Now,
sometimes people don't want to be numb. The downside of
numbing you up is that there's more bruising and it
takes long, there's more swelling, it takes a little bit
longer to recover, and a lot of people just don't
like needles. So if we give you a little bit
(16:05):
of a valium, give you a little bit of that
Gynavis painkiller, and then use the amlocreme, we can usually
get through and get a nice result even with an
aggressive laser. So the laser procedures are very popular right now.
In fact, I did several this past week. I did
an eighty four year old with a laser. Well, you know,
(16:26):
I've got this population of patients that range from pretty
much sixteen from the rhinoplasts all the way up to
the mid eighties. And you might ask me, well, doctor
Perry's it's safe to do a laser on an eighty
something year old And the question is it's not the age. Actually,
the answer is, it's not the age, it's how healthy
(16:47):
you are. So if you don't have medical problems, if
you don't have problems with your heart, lungs, are kidneys,
if you're not on insulin and lots of medications for
blood pressure, and you know, if you're healthy, if you exercise,
if you're let's say you're working, and you have a
relatively healthy life, well, then even in your eighties, you
(17:08):
can have cosmetic surgery. Yes, if you have a bigger procedure,
like a facelift, We're gonna ask you to have a
stress test before the procedure because surgery itself, like a facelift,
is a fairly uncontrolled stress test, know, so we want
you to have a controlled one with your cardiologists before him.
All right, Well, I promise we're going to talk about
(17:29):
the male cosmetic surgery. So when we come back from
the break, we are going to talk about how about
Brad Cooper. Have you looked all right in the break?
I want you to listen to the commercial, but just
check out his pictures on the internet for a second. Noah,
we'll take our break now, we'll be back after these words.
(17:54):
They say that sixty is the new fifty. But while
you may feel and act fifty, the mirror doesn't lie.
But that's where plastic surgery comes in. I'm board certified
plastic surgeon, Doctor Arthur Perry, and I love helping patients
look younger and better. If you've got sagging cheeks, jowls,
and that dreaded turkey gobbler, it might be time for
a little nip and a tuck. You look more rested
(18:16):
and yes, younger. With my short scar facelift and the
artistic injection of wrinkle filler or a laser peel, well,
that might be just what it takes to get you
looking as good as you feel. Let's sit down for
an hour consultation in my new Park Avenue office. Together,
we'll come up with a plan to help you look
your best. Give me a call at eight three three Perry, MD.
(18:36):
That's A three three p E R R Y M D.
Check me out on the web at Perryplasticsurgery dot com
and don't forget to listen to me doctor Arthur Perry,
every Saturday evening at six pm. Right here on wo R.
You're listening to What's Your Wrinkle with doctor Arthur Perry.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
What's Your Wrinkle?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
And we are back. I'm board certified plastic surgeon, doctor
Arthur Perry host What's Your Wrinkle for a long long
time now. I do cosmetic surgery exclusively in my practice.
I'll take off some moles and things like that also
and help with some skin cancers, but what I really
do is face lifts and eyelid lifts and rhinoplasts. I
(19:16):
love facial rejuvenation and I spend a lot of time
also doing the non invasive procedures like fillers and botox
and lasers and things like that. So women absolutely dwarf
men in terms of who has cosmetic surgery, well over
ninety percent of cosmetic surgery is in women. In my
practice is mostly women, but I do do surgery on
(19:38):
men also, and it's just that there's less demand for
cosmetic surgery in men, and part of that is because
men don't care as much. They really don't. And in fact,
if you look at some male actors that get older,
you know, you had Robert Redford who just passed away
(20:00):
a lot of wrinkles on his face and still had
roles in movies and was quite a celebrity, right. But
you don't see women in their seventies and eighties on
TV for the most part, with lots of wrinkles. The
women that are on those shows have had cosmetic surgery,
and there are very few roles unfortunately for the older
(20:21):
people men and women in Hollywood. But if we look
at men who have had cosmetic surgery, well, let's in fact,
let's look at the picture of Bradley Cooper now. And
you say, well, okay, it's all over the internet and
a lot of you have probably seen that.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I don't know if brad Cooper, I don't know him personally.
I don't know if he's had cosmetic surgery. But when
I look at his pictures and I compare last year's
pictures to this year's pictures, I'll tell you it looks
like he's had an upper blephroplasty. And what's an upper bleferroplasty,
a big plastic surgery word for an eyelid lift. Now,
as we age, we and to maybe lower our brows
(21:02):
just a little bit, and we also tend to get
extra skin on our eyelids, both our upper eyelids and
our lower eyelids. But our upper eyelids can get so
much extra skin that it causes what we say is hooding,
and it can actually interfere with your vision. It's almost
like wearing a baseball hat and you're driving with a
baseball hat on. You have to tilt your head up
(21:23):
because the baseball hat gets in your way, particularly if
you're going up a hill. The same thing happens with
that skin. It can actually interfere with your vision. But
way before it interferes with your vision, it just looks
like you've got extra skin on your upper eyelids. You
also tend to get fat up your upper eyelids. Fat
(21:44):
is there your entire life. It doesn't change in its
volume from when you were twelve years old to eighty
years old. But what happens is because your tissues weaken,
the fat tends to sort of herniate outward and you
begin to see a little balls by the nose and
a little bit of fullness in the middle of the
upper island the lower eyelid. Well, just look at see
(22:06):
these candidates for mayor, like mister Cuomo. You know he's
got three really nice fat pads of his lower eyelids
and he's had him, his father had him. Mario was
a poster child for cosmetic surgery.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
So I.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Did not operate on Mario, didn't operate on Andrew. But
they both have similar lower eyelids. And when people have
their eyelids operated on, we remove a little bit of
extra skin for the lower lid also, and a judicious amount.
How's that for a word? Judicious amount? Just the right
amount of fat from the lower eyelids as well as
(22:46):
the upper eyelids. Now here's what happens in a woman.
A woman's esthetic ideal is to remove all that extra
skin of the upper eyelids so that she can put
makeup on it not have its smear. Well, a man,
it's different because men don't wear makeup. And if I
(23:08):
remove that much skin from a man's eyelid, it will
feminize his eyelids. And if you look at Bradley Cooper,
it looks like he had a very nice blepho classy
if he were a woman. Yeah, there's a siren in
the background. You know, I'm broadcasting live from the Upper
West Side of Manhattan, and I'll tell you that it's
this district. There's those of you who live up here.
(23:30):
I don't think there's ten minutes that go by that
you don't hear sirens. But yeah, that's New York and
happy to be living here now, right across from Lincoln
Center all the way. All right, So back to Bradley Cooper. Noah,
We'll look at his eyelids and you know, he had
a nice eyelid lift, but it was too It looks
like he had too much skin removed, and his upper
(23:52):
eyelids are feminized. And you know, maybe he wanted that,
maybe he didn't want that. But when I do an
eyelid lift on a man, I purposely leave some skin
to on the upper eyelids so that male eyelids look
different and more masculine than female eyelids. And it's something
that you know, it's an artistic thing. It's very easy
(24:15):
to take more skin, very easy. It's harder, actually to
leave a little and have it look good and have
an improvement from with your appearance, but not be overdone.
And I think his eyelids, at the risk of saying that,
I think he did have a black poroplasty, were overdone. Now,
the other thing about his face is it looks thinner,
(24:35):
and it looks like I mentioned the buckle fat pad
a few minutes ago, it looks like he might have
had his buckle fat pad removed. Now that's not a
smart thing for probably any man, because what happens is
the buckle fat pad. That's the mid cheek fat. That's
the fat if you suck in your cheeks, you know,
like that face you make for children, you suck in
(24:57):
your cheeks, that's the fat that you're sucking and that's
the buck fat pad. And I do remove it in
some people when it's really really chubby. But it looks
like his was removed and he did not have a
real chubby face. And now what's going to happen as
he ages, His face is going to thin significantly. Also,
he might have had his massive or muscle botox. Maybe
(25:19):
I don't know, but all together he looks different. And
you know, you might say he looks better, but I
think he looks overdone. When I do cosmetic surgery. Men,
I'm very very careful about that. All right, the show
is only half an hour. I could talk about this topic.
I didn't even get to Brad Pitt's surgery. Maybe next week, Noah,
thanks so much for great engineering. If you want to
